David,

I think you are right. Matt knows how to understand complicated arguments from Atheists but he refuses to try to understand where I am coming from.

The fact is that he does not have answers to what I say so the only way to save face is to attack the person. The attack comes by saying that I am long-winded. I am not clear. I am attacking him. I have a condescending attitude. This is all a smoke screen. In fact I have been more than kind to him and complimented him on his ministry work. I have not attacked his person and I have stayed on topic. He takes a question on the passage in question (1 Timothy 2) about why he believes “a woman” to be “women” in the passage and he takes me for a tour of the bible instead of telling me from the passage in question. Then he accuses me of running in circles when it is I who stayed on topic in the context of the passage and he who went into federal headship and the role of women in marriage, etc.

It appears that his best defense is an attack. I will continue to ignore the attack and stay on topic. I suspect he will get upset with me and ban me from his discussion board. His rules say that he can do this for any reason at all with no recourse. This is the kind of “ruling” that Matt does and what he thinks is allowed to him because he is male.
